Does T...

No, never.

Not my T, but someone who is more like a counselor not really a T that I also see vents about other clients sometimes. She told me recently of a girl who has a serious mental health disorder and her parents are really overbearing and don't help at all. I don't mind the venting, I guess it shows she trusts me. My T has never spoken of another client, not even once.

My T only talks about other clients in the most general sense and even then, only rarely and only to illustrate a point for me. I was freaking out about how long I've been seeing my T and she said that she prefers not to do "short term" therapy and most of her clients have been seeing her for quite a while. That's about as detailed as she'll get. If she's running late, she'll usually apologize and explain that she was dealing with an emergency with another client, but doesn't go in to details then either.

Wow, that must be so painful to work with clients you can't "sincerely" like or love! That means he has to fake his support of them? I truly understand when two people don't "click," and I also believe that most people are able to pick up on the insincerity of a fake relationship. It happens in real life so it must also happen in therapeutic relationships. I wonder why he doesn't refer the person to someone else.

My former therapist never discussed other clients. In fact, I remember one time that she let me know at the beginning of my session that someone I knew would be in the waiting room when I left and she apologized and hoped it wouldn't cause me discomfort (She didn't realize that I knew my BFF was also seeing her or that I had referred her. LOL). She was sooooooo cautious about how she scheduled clients. So far, my new therapist hasn't discussed other clients and I have a pretty strong feeling she never would either.

Not yet. But I've almost made references to things "she must see" or "she must deal with" and I catch myself and don't because I don't want to ask about something she can't talk about anyway.
